Chizaram Onyemaechi, an Abuja-based disability advocate has revealed some of the discrimination she suffered during her childhood after she was born with Albinism. In an exclusive interview with

Punch Newspaper today, Chizaram stated that she hailed from Umahia Local Government Area of Abia State but she was born and raised in Lagos.

According to the young lady, she started noticing the discrimination in her childhood because people always tried to remind her that she is different. As a child, she couldn’t even go out to play with her peer group because she has difficulty in seeing objects during the day. Some people also warned her that if she continues to expose her body to the sun, she might die of skin cancer.

When asked about her relationship experience, Chizaram revealed that most of the people that showed interest in her only want to sleep with her. She stated that some of them even believed that if they sleep with her, they would be cured of diseases like HIV.

She added that she used to have a boyfriend in the past but he left her after his friends mocked him that his girlfriend has albinism.
